Not like their other qbs could have thrown screens to tyreek luckily Tua is back
Ramsey kept giving the “2 Small” signal to Kyler.Miami was able to block 2 passes at the LOS with Ramsey and Campbell, interesting start
Miami looks like a different team so far
I love what Tua brings to the offense, I just pray he doesn't get hurt, it's a terrible feeling as a Miami fan
Same for Miami with Chop Robinson. But Harrison was pick #4. He has 4 targets out of 25 passes. Should be more.I see Arizona utilizing their #1 pick well again, dopes.
I was at the game.....Tua was more than adequate today......this defense is just filled with holes and soft up the middle. We also have a CB in Ramsey who is washed. Poyer is washed.....useless. When Holland went down the floodgates opened over the middle in the run game and passing game. And oh....we are gonna lose Holland....we have no money for him.Miami up to draft pick 1.06. A loss is better long-term. A respectable loss.
Noah Igbinoghene with a really bad PI for the Commanders yesterday that should have cost them.That 2020 draft is still screaming at us. And sticks out like a sore thumb
Cam Smith finally has enough snaps (35) for a PFF grade. Guess what - his coverage grade is 189th/199 CBs! It's still early. Was this a Grier Jr pick and an attempt to get his son involved as a scout?Noah Igbinoghene with a really bad PI for the Commanders yesterday that should have cost them.That 2020 draft is still screaming at us. And sticks out like a sore thumb

Tua looks rusty, his timing was off on several easy throws he normally makes. But the OL did a great job (amazingly) giving him plenty of time to read and scan the defense. He was very hesitant to go downfield all day. Being at the game we could see everything. Many times yesterday...Waddle was wide open....and not being targeted at all. So many times I saw Waddle slanting and crossing free....and his frustration was visibly apparent with Tua not getting him the ball on several occasions.
Hopefully that starts changing...whether it's Waddle or Hill, Smith, Eskridge (get OBJ the hell off the field...he is washed beyond washed) or Washington. Tua will start throwing it downfield instead of dinking and dumping it off all day. While some of those were the right plays...he did miss several chances at some nice chunk plays with Waddle and Hill. Also The one deep ball he tried near the end of the half? Horrible throw. Nothing on it.
Anyway we are certainly better with Tua....you don't need to be a brain surgen to know that. But we are stuck in mediocrity purgatory with him. Good enough to win 9...maybe 10 games? give or take but not good enough to go deep into the post season.
That for me as being a fan since 1975.....it's just....ugh. I know this is the case....it's being proven each season. And I have my serious doubts he can stay healthy each season....something else that has been proven in 5 seasons now.
As far as McDaniel he is tacrtically an awful coach with no concept of time management or play calling adjustments.....it's really bad now. And he was extended along with Tua.
Oh well.......whatever. This is what it is.
Go Dolphinds (not really....I secretly want losses every week so we can fire this staff and front office and start over with another QB drafted in 2025 even if he has to sit behind Tua for a season or two....just take another QB....Tua is not the long term answer)

We are going to lose Holland. He has made some good picks.Cam Smith finally has enough snaps (35) for a PFF grade. Guess what - his coverage grade is 189th/199 CBs! It's still early.

Disagree about Ramsey, he should've tracked MHJ all day, instead of Cam who covered him on some late completions. PFF has Ramsey at 27th/200 CBs in coverage and 18th overall. Great in run defense (6/200). Ramsey isn't elite anymore, but he's he's still good. The BUF fans told us about Poyer, he's lost several steps especially in coverage.
The 2024 draft class could be worse, Chop and Patrick are projects. Wright is good, but was it worth giving up a 2025 3rd round pick (likely a high 3rd round pick) for one of the most replaceable positions?
Grier hasn't been bad at everything (drafting Hunt, WIlkins, AVG & FA Brooks), but if we end up drafting top 5, does Ross finally go in another direction? The Tua extension was called out by Barry Jackson at the time, this is not all hindsight. That was one of his biggest mistakes.
They stunk last season on offense in December and January.....the defensive tumble was due to the injuries.I was at the game.....Tua was more than adequate today......this defense is just filled with holes and soft up the middle. We also have a CB in Ramsey who is washed. Poyer is washed.....useless. When Holland went down the floodgates opened over the middle in the run game and passing game.

The defense is so disappointing given where we thought we were a year ago with so many playmakers. Philips, Chubb, Wilkins, Ramsey, Holland, Van Ginkel. Alongside an offense that was electric and clicking, it really seemed like we were on the verge of something special.
Then with the offensive playmakers too, just playmakers all over the field. At least on paper.
Just crazy to see such a catastrophic dropoff on both sides of the ball. We know what happened with the offense but by the end of this year we'll probably have gone from 6 difference making playmakers to zero having any kind of impact. Just brutal.
